**************************

By Paul Abrams. No one who has received amnesty for a serious crime, such as tax evasion, can be president. One would think that someone for whom the clear implications are that he has received amnesty, but will not release exculpatory documents, also cannot be president.

As the press has been focused on what we now know as Romney’s “retroactive retirement”, that does not help him escape clear responsibility for his outsourcing strategy anyhow, I have tried to shine a light on the clearest, cleanest, unspinnable, problem with Romney’s finances — amnesty for his Swiss accounts — suggesting that the Republican leaders, who dislike him anyhow, could not abide such a fatally-flawed nominee.

But, all I had on my side was logic. Why would he have closed only the Swiss Account when the Cayman/Bermuda accounts are also abusive tax havens, and he left those alone? Why would Romney have bothered to close the Swiss account at all? I deduced that what was special about his Swiss Account was the amnesty program allowed by the IRS. I also surmised that it was amnesty, more than anything else, that would keep him from releasing earlier tax returns.

Now, through investigative reporting, there is highly suggestive evidence that the logic was not wrong. Romney failed to disclose the documents he filed with the IRS in 2010, the year he has already released, that detail his Swiss Account holdings.

Hence, I am now prepared to go beyond my suggestions that the Republicans would not give him the nomination to a firm prediction: Romney will not be the 2012 Republican nominee for president. (He may be the “retroactive 2008 nominee” as Darrell Issa, who also cannot run for higher office due to his shady past, suggests).

When this sorry half-breed excuse for a human being that currently props his nasty feet on every desk, table and chair in the White House releases
ALL of the stuff he has spent millions to secure then he has room to talk.

What a crock– Abrams and the libs can only find one SUSPICIOUS thing to challenge Romney on while Obama has dozens that they’ve ignored / covered up for nearly four years? They really are the definition of LAME.

It does not matter if obama was born on American soil. He is not a natural born citizen. to be “natural born”, your Father and Mother must be American citizens and you must be born on American soil.
Look at the problems McCain had proving he was “natural Born”.

You are absolutely correct. He is NOT qualified to be the president of the USA.

All those involved with getting this fraud elected and those who gave financial support should be prosecuted and if found guilty. jailed and fined according to their means.

If he is a fraud then all of his policies and executive orders are fraudulent and should be declared null and void. Another words, let’s start over and consider the last3.5 years a total waste.
